Title: How to begin?
Post by: Emmy on May 06, 2011, 07:31:14 AM
I'm sure there are plenty of topics on this, but oh well.

I don't really know where to start with voice-training.

I'm broke so can't afford any instructional guides and whatnot.

Can anyone help me out?

Kathy Perez's channel TGVoice (http://www.youtube.com/user/tgvoice) on YouTube.

You will also a spectrogram (http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/pc/003/screeshoot.html) to make sure you are within the range.  If you have and IPhone, there is an app for that.  Gee go figure. :icon_crazy: :icon_blink: :icon_blah:

I tried using that particular program, but, not being savvy to sound related tech, I don't know how to read it. Anyone know?

Uh, the fractional info I can give is "A3 is the average female pitch." I think it was Kathe Perez that said that. I've never learned music in English, though.

I'm going to use all of you for help, too. Do you people have links (and if a miracle happens, in French) for more advanced techniques? I can produce a
female voice, but only a neutral, official one. I seem to be unable to retain a female sound whenever putting emotion in what I am saying (boredom,
anger, fear, etc.) or when doing something else than speak normally or sing (laugh, shout, speak loud, speak softly, cry, groan...)
